Customer Reviews
at last, the perfect top chef podcast!
For a few years now I’ve been hunting for a top chef podcast that has the right vibe. So many that I have tried are either very bro-y, pretentious, or both. But Compliments to the Chef is PERFECT! The hosts have great friendship chemistry, they have substantive discussion without being mean, and while they’re serious about food and about their love for Top Chef, they’re not pretentious at all (a breath of fresh air). I am really excited that they have interviews with cheftestants. I hope the show is a success so I can enjoy it for many seasons to come!
This podcast is EVERYTHING
Don’t miss out. Pure entertainment from top to bottom - can’t wait for the next season! 👏🏼 👏🏼
So witty and a fun listen.
I’m a huge fan of Top Chef so naturally I wanted to listen to a podcast about my favorite show. This doesn’t disappoint. Nancy and Bits are hilarious and get great guests. Don’t sleep on this podcast!
